Really nice little hotel on the shore of lake Winnipesaukee. Clean, new, tidy, nice jacuzzi, sauna, and a small exercise room. Decent small continental breakfast.

This hotel is the nicest thing in Center Harbor. The grounds are well kept and the breakfast was nice. Having assorted water craft (kayaks, paddle boards, peddle boats) available was a nice treat, and we enjoyed playing cornhole on the lawn. An unexpected benefit of the location on July 4th were the fireworks directly off the dock! We checked in that day and were surprised by a band in the adjacent town gazebo and many local residents setting up chairs and blankets across the street from the Inn. As dusk approached many local residents began setting up their chairs on the hotel property too :/ . We thought they were all trying to catch a view of fireworks from Weir's Beach around the cove, but fifteen minutes before that show was supposed to start a much closer barge in Center Harbor began its show. That was great! The badly behaved local kids screaming that the fireworks were too loud, I could have lived without, but the Inn could not control that.

We chose the center harbor in for its location right on the lake and amenities mentioned. Fitness center, free breakfast. Our biggest disappointment was the Canadian Geese that pooped all over the property but especially the beach! It was disgusting. I did see a crew of people on the property raking the beach and grass areas. The beach chairs are functional but not that many. The water was spectacular but wear water shoes or follow the sand in the water. Otherwise the bottom is slimy! The raft was a nice feature. The “fitness center” is a joke. Please be honest and show 2 treadmills, an elliptical and two exercise balls. (We paid to go to a gym). There is a sauna and hot tub which we did not use. Finally the breakfast doesn’t even open until 8 am! Coffee at 7:30 would’ve been lovely. No great shakes for breakfast. The very basics. However the fresh bagels and muffins were delicious. Its proximity to Meredith is a great plus. Very friendly staff.

Weekend couples trip

Great space, beautiful view. Breakfast was self-service typical eggs-muffin-coffee. Breakfast space was clean and inviting. Enough space to not feel rushed. However, noisy upstairs neighbors with stopping feet slamming deck/ balcony door made ceiling rattle alot. Seemed odd for what appears as a newer constructed building. Dud use beach or water activities as temp was in high 50 degrees.
